In this video recorded by Single Payer Action, Dr. Margaret Flowers (Congressional Fellow, PNHP) attempts to deliver to the White House a packet of information on Medicare For All in response to Obamas State of the Union address.

 
Dr. Flowers was turned away on Anthrax/Security fears. 

Undeterred, "Dr. Flowers joined colleague Dr. Carol Paris to try again to get their message to President Obama, but this time by going to the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel, where the president was meeting with House Republicans, with a large banner reading, "Letting you know: Medicare for all."

Because they wouldn't leave the hotel sidewalk and refused to have their message marginalized again, they were both arrested. The two physicians were briefly taken into custody by law enforcement officials, issued a citation and then released. "
